Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray

1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup sliced almonds with skins

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, stir 1 1/2 cups of the sugar into the melted butter. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift the flour and salt onto the batter. Add the flavoring and stir well. Pour the batter into the skillet. Top with sliced almonds and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until slightly brown on top, about 35 minutes. Cool the shortbread in the skillet. When cool, use the foil to lift the shortbread from the skillet; remove the foil before serving.

I made this twice. The first one wound up in the garbage. Even tho I left in oven for a bit longer than instructed, the cookies were undercooked for my tastes at least. The second is a keeper - this one was made after I read thru the reviews again - quite helpful. One suggested preheating the skillet, and I did that. The recipe is a good one but I think perhaps the instructions regarding baking with an iron fryihng pan could have been more eplicit. I still wound up baking for longer than recommended. The result is tasty and something a little out of the ordinary. Intend to make it again.
